Also, AxKit is more akin to Cocoon v1 last time I looked (6-8mo ago). __END__ It's the other way around: AxKit is much more akin to Cocoon2. We had a sitemap concept before they did, and while we still allow xml-stylesheet PI's, it's not using the Cocoon1 reactor pattern that is so difficult to develop for - the pipeline is determined only from the originating file/request (however it is modifiable mid pipeline if you absolutely have to). I think from general feelings and comments from others that AxKit is also a fair bit more lightweight than Cocoon, and faster (yes, even than Cocoon2, which didn't do *that* much for performance unfortunately according to my readings of cocoon-dev). Though admittedly I would welcome the opportunity to do what the Cocoon people did for Cocoon2 and do a complete re-write (we all make design mistakes that we regret 2 years on :-) Hope that helps, Sincerely, Matt. -- <:->Get a smart net</:-> This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star Internet.
